In the streets of Naples, the rebirth of a love in its twilight years, written day by day by Rossellini. An intimate drama about incommunicability and the power of attachment, Journey to Italy recounts the flow of married life, punctuated by boredom and lack of desire. From misunderstandings to constant doubts, the absurdity of emotional wounds contaminates the relationship between Katherine and Alexander, who pull away from each other but continue to love each other. A quasi-autobiographical work, cited by Rivette and Truffaut as an example of the ‘modern film’. (cinematheque.fr)
